I was born in San Francisco in 1942 and lived there until 1948 when my old man was transferred to Dallas, TX. We lived in Dallas for three years when the old man was transferred back to Sacramento.
This is the house we lived in at the time in the Sunset District. I don't remember the house too much but Zillion shows it as being 2 bedroom, 1 bath and 1088 sq ft.
I had two older sisters who were born in Oakland. Then they moved to SF when my three younger bothers and I came along. I don't know how we managed to accommodate eight people living in that small house.
The Zillow Zestimate for this house is one and a quarter million. That's for a two bedroom, one bath, 1088 sq ft house in SF.

Although we only saw her from the back I think that was my mother waving at the ferry in the video. Or not.

The folk's house back in the day when they owned it.

This is the house in April, 2019 according to Google Street View. I think those are the same wires going to it.

Wow! these are great. I have only seen a couple of these and I am grateful to have access to them, bookmarked and saved. These are too cool to get buried in my old post so consider putting this great list up as a new topic in this section. Thanks lev29.

You’re welcome, Phil!
What’s your connection with San Francisco? I lived there for a year in Noe Valley back in the early 90s.

I lived there as a young child during WWII and then again from 1967 to 1972, on Haight St (in the day!) I have lived across the bay in Berkeley for the past 47 years. It is a beautiful city, I can see it from my window.
